they voted for obama, they came for obama. and i have to say i was surprised, because there wasn't a lot of evidence in the polling. i didn't know people were adjusting their models, but just about every poll showed that 18-29-year-old voters would be 15% of the vote. i personally thought that was a pretty good guess based on what we were seeing. it was higher in '12 than it was in '8. now, just for the sake of clarification and accuracy, they voted for obama in lower numbers. he got -- depending upon which poll you look at -- 67, 68% of that vote four years ago, he only got 60 this time. but that's a little higher than where he was polling. he was polling in the mid 50s for the most part. so very impressive achievement for obama. what i think the republicans have to do -- and, by the way, he lost independents. he lost independents by six points. that's a 14-point swing from four years ago. there are not a lot of people who would have guessed that you'd split the catholic vote, lose white catholics by ten and lose independents

barack obama won this election by a 50-48% margin. debts may go up to around it 50-48 when the folks in california command and last time it took five weeks to count their votes. they count them in five hours in brazil so i'm not sure why california's less technologically advanced but there we are. all these figures are incomplete as they replied -- it appears obama will get a huge electoral vote advantage and out of this relatively narrow popular vote margin. assuming that he carries florida where he is the current ahead in the miami-dade county. people are are this year counting votes without the assistance of many republican and democratic lawyers. with florida his electoral vote victory is 332-206. bush was 51-48 margin in 2004 india 286 votes and obama was slightly less it appears against 332. i think there is a certain structure of demographic advantage for democrats in the electoral college in this era. democratic voters tend to be clustered into large metropolitan areas and in particular neighborhoods and they give them a craft
